| | George Jones Super Hits CD George Jones Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Also available in a 3-pack with SUPER HITS VOL. 2 and GEORGE & TAMMY SUPER HITS.
Along with Merle Haggard and precious few others, George Jones is one of the last of the original honky-tonk country singers. He started in the 1950s, and his voice has aged like fine wine--soulful, supple, capable of making heartache sound (almost) worth going through. This set spans the years 1972-1985, and has some of his best work for the Epic label.
Included are great re-recordings of his classics "White Lightning" and "The Window Up Above," as well as newer gems like the neo-classic "Bartender's Blues" (with harmony from the song's writer, James Taylor), a sort of country counterpart to Billy Joel's "Piano Man." There's never been a better tribute-in-song to country music's legends than "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes." This album is slightly marred by Billy Sherrill's (over-) production, but Jones' voice and the top-notch song selection make this one of the better Jones hits packages.

Super Hits album
 $12.19 
J.D. (for John David) Souther was never a front-runner during the peak of the L.A. singer/songwriter boom of the '70s and '80s, but he was never far from those who were. His songwriting for one-time lover Linda Ronstadt and for the Eagles, which evolved out of Ronstadt's backing band, provided them both with some fine material (including the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight," "Best of My Love," and "New Kid in Town"), and as one-third of the underrated Souther-Hillman-Furay Band with ex-Poco frontman Richie Furay and original Byrds member Chris Hillman, he was briefly in the spotlight as a performer. Souther also recorded four solo albums, two of which charted but didn't really establish him as a major force, but until now his representation on CD has been slim. This British compilation draws from all four of those solos and Souther-Hillman-Furay, and reveals Souther to be a smart craftsman of up-tempo country-rock and ballads. ...
| | Faith Hill Joy To The World CD (2008)
Super Hits CD music
$11.69  
The marketing department at Warner Brothers must have really wanted to get a jump on the holiday season when they released Faith Hill's 2008 Christmas album, JOY TO THE WORLD, in September. Hill's set of carols and traditional songs may not suit the late summer, but that doesn't make JOY TO THE WORLD any less of a treat. As albums like BREATHE and FIREFLIES proved, Hill has no problem crossing over to mainstream audiences, and this Christmas set (the singer's first) should strengthen that appeal. If ...

$30.79
1951 was a breakthrough year for Hank Williams. He had a string of moderate country hits already under his belt, but the release that year of his version of an old jazz age novelty tune called "Lovesick Blues" suddenly made him a big star. It also meant his touring schedule ...

Super Hits album
$7.69
Producing herself, Patty Larkin banned percussion instruments from her seventh album, a gimmick that extenuated her usual interest in texture over content, which has always distinguished her from other folkies but also frustrated some fans. This time, her self-imposed stricture forced her and her fellow musicians to ...

Super Hits CD music
$16.19
As lovely as its sequel TONE POEMS II is, the first TONE POEMS, with Tony Rice on guitar, feels like a more original piece of work. Perhaps the musical communication between Grisman and Rice is simply second nature, Rice having been there at the founding of the first David Grisman Quintet in the '70s. ...
| | Marillion Clutching At Straws CDs (1987)
Super Hits music CDs
$23.75
This package includes an Enhanced bonus CD including 12 rare tracks as well as multimedia computer files.
Principally recorded at Westside Studios, London, England. Includes liner notes by Fish, Mark Kelly, Mark Wilkinson, Ian Mosley and Avil Mackintosh.
Written and conceived during a period of inner-band turmoil, Clutching at Straws would prove to be Fish's swan song, and perhaps Marillion's most unheralded masterpiece. Teaming up once again with producer Chris Kimsey, Clutching at Straws showcases some of the band's most satisfying compositions, including the magnificent "Warm Wet Circles" and "That Time of the Night (The Short Straw)." Bookended by Fish's disgust with not only himself, "Torch Song," but also with the burgeoning neo-Nazi uprising in Europe, "White Russian," the great Scot delivers an inspired condemnation. The commercial pomp and circumstance of "Incommunicado" also gives way to a self-parodying confessional inspired by Fish's inability to see himself as a bona fide rock star and celebrity ("I want to do adverts for American Express cards, talk shows on prime time T.V."). Tour opener "Slainte Mhath" is simple and elegant, building to its dramatic crescendo only to be upstaged by "Sugar Mice" -- quite simply, one of Marillion's best commercial singles ever. The album's stunning closer, "The Last Straw," is Fish's self-realization that yes, the band is not only over, but that in his mind, it's null and void ("and if you ever come across us, don't give us your sympathy"). Steve Rothery's blinding guitar solo brings the whole thing down to a crashing finish (prophetically, announcing his arrival as the band's true musical instigator on subsequent Fish-less records). ~ John Franck

| | Rhythm Rockets Take Off! CD (2002)
Super Hits songs
$17.75
Nestled between the big band sound of the early 1940's and the birth of rock and roll in the late 50's, was a style of music that gave way to rhythm and blues. This high energy dance music was created by black artists who were inspired by the pre-war swing era. In turn, these artists were inspirational to the founding fathers of rock and roll, such as Bill Haley and his Comets, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course, Elvis Presley. These musicians often credited the jump blues bands of the '40's and '50's as the basis and influence of their sound.Performing over 150 dates a year for the past 4 years, the Rhythm Rockets bring to the stage ...
